I have to say I agree with you.
On my defense (I feel like I'm defending myself a lot here :P), this was a "just for fun" concept. I love Android, and as a good practice of the guidelines, thought that applying them on an existing product could be a fun project to do on spare time.
Could I have imprinted more of "me" in the project? Sure. That was not my goal. Maybe that should've been stated somewhere.
No hurt feelings here, I always appreciate constructive criticism.
No hurt feelings. I somewhat agree with you. I did this purely as practice on material guidelines, and applying them on an existing product (if you see my dribbble, you'll see I did it before a week ago).
So, yeah, maybe I should've stated it like "Reddit doesn't look so hot and Google Material does."
This was not meant to be a deep study on how Reddit works, weaknesses or whatever. I think it's kind of a futile exercise to do that, without knowing how the users really react to it. I can't possibly have that information, unless they approach me to do it.
I think having an outdated design can be a problem and a reason to redesign (specially if you are redesigning it just for fun and practice)
Yeah, /r/materialdesign is similar too
I'd love to, but I have no idea on how to make a Chrome extension! :(
